66. The Delegation of the United States, who had lead the drafting group, proposed that the Draft Code of Hygienic Practice for the Manufacture of Uncured/Unripened and Ripened Soft Cheeses be incorporated into the Proposed Draft Code of Hygienic Practice for Milk and Milk Products under elaboration (see Agenda Item 14). A number of delegations supported this proposal. The Committee noted that the drafting group envisaged under Agenda Item 14 (see paragraph 65) should take into account the work already done in the past regarding the cheese code as well as all the comments received on the latest document when developing the Proposed Draft Code of Hygienic Practice for Milk and Milk Products.
